Things are progressing normally. I seem to have a 3 week cycle of how I feel. First week after chemo is good. I seem to have a good appetite and energy. Second week I tend to get more fatigued and appetite is so-so. Also my stomach starts to bother me and everything I eat goes right through me (if you catch the drift). Third week is when everything seems to fall apart. Can't eat, always tired, stomach issues, etc. At least I know the drill and can try to plan around it. It helps to keep busy.
I'm staying positive and although I know there is no cure (yet) I'm hoping all these drugs will keep me going until there is one. Got to stay positive - I truly believe 50% of this is mental. Once you give up your body has no reason to fight and that's when things start happening. I'm sure (positive) that I will have issues down the road and reasons to want to give up but as my family and friends its your job to keep me going. As you know I am very stubborn and I REFUSE TO DIE!!! ( BTY - that was my New Years Resolution).
Looking forward to our 8th Annual Golf Outing to benefit Y-ME Breast Cancer Org. Looks like a record year with 101 golfers and 12 attending for dinner (to date). Last year we raised a record $10,600 and a total of over $50,000 over the course of 7 years. It's a labor of love and we work hard to make sure everyone has a great time. We have attendees who have made all 7 events as well as newbies. Friends from the past (grammar school if you can imagine), co-workers, friends and family all coming together for a great cause. Hope to see you there.
Until I have more to report - remember - JUST DANCE!
